KAWARTHA LAKES-A seasonal ban on overnight parking between November 1 and April 30 is now in effect in the City of Kawartha Lakes.

Overnight parking in municipal parking lots is prohibited between 11pm and 6am from November 1 to April 30, unless covered by a permit in Lindsay.

Snow and ice removal

Residents and businesses are responsible and required to clear the way around their property.

• Property owners are encouraged to remove snow and/or ice from sidewalks adjacent to their property.
• Do not push or blow snow from your property back on to the street. This is in violation of the Highway Traffic Act and creates unsafe conditions.
• Where possible, pile snow on the right side of your driveway (as you face the street), so that cleared snow does not get moved back onto your driveway by the snow plow.
• Reduce the height of the snow bank at the end of your property by shoveling snow back further onto your property. This improves visibility when entering or exiting your driveway.
• For safety reasons, remove snow around exit doors, stairways, fire escapes and furnace vents.
• If there is a fire hydrant in front of your home or business, remove snow and ice around the fire hydrant. In the case of an emergency, the faster fire services can access the hydrant, the faster they can respond to an emergency.
